1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes of miR-155 expression in the serum of uremic patients before and after treatment and analyze the risk factors of efficacy. A total of 116 uremic patients admitted to the People's Hospital of Chengyang (Qingdao, China) were enrolled in the study as the uremia group, and were treated by hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion, and 127 healthy subjects who underwent health examination during the same period were selected as the normal group. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR was used to detect the serum miR-155 levels of all the subjects in the two groups before treatment and those of uremia patients after treatment. The changes of clinically related indicators and inflammatory factors in uremic patients before and after treatment and their correlation with miR-155 were investigated. The risk factors affecting the efficacy of treatment were analyzed. Serum miR-155 levels in the uremia group were higher than those in the normal group (P<0.001); the miR-155 level in patients after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.001), and it was positively correlated with efficacy (r=0.6873, P<0.05). The serum miR-155 level in the invalid group was higher than that in the effective group, and the sensitivity and specificity of miR-155 for predicting the efficacy before treatment were 64.71 and 87.88%, respectively. After treatment, the sensitivity and specificity of miR-155 for evaluating the efficacy were 76.47 and 88.89%, respectively. Clinically related indicators and inflammatory factor levels in uremic patients decreased significantly after treatment, and the expression levels before and after treatment were significantly correlated with miR-155. Clinically related indicators, inflammatory factors and miR-155 were all risk factors affecting efficacy. The expression level of miR-155 in serum was significantly upregulated. Findings of this study suggest that monitoring miR-155 may reflect the efficacy and inflammatory state effectively.
